Episode XIII
The cameras pan across the Before the Bell set, in the background there is a backdrop with the Before the Bell logo, and several monitors. In the foreground is desk, seated at the desk from left to right is Zack Fields, Zoey Mathews-Mitchell, and John Hendon. On the center of the desk in front of Zoey is one of the AXW Tag Team Championships.
John Hendon: Welcome to the post-Christmas edition of Before the Bell! We here at AXW hope you had a wonderful holiday if you celebrate it. I'm John Hendon with Zack Fields and AXW Tag Team Champion Zoey Mathews-Mitchell. Did you guys get any cool presents?
Zack Fields: My brother Geoff got me a 65 inch tv, thanks bro!
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: I spent Christmas with my brothers, dad, my wonderful husband, as well as the rest of my lovely family. There's no material item that can take away from spending time with those who are the closest to your heart. I did get a new drum kit though, and I'm excited to start playing on it. How about you, John? What did you get?
John Hendon: I got a lot of coal. It'll actually go great with the grill I got as well.
Zack Fields: Well we can't spend all show talking about what we got, we gotta recap last week's Alternative!
John Hendon: The Alternative kicked off with some tag team action as AXW Women's Champion Olya Oglovska teamed up with Hailey Harris to take on the team of Janet Hurricane and Caitlin Shay.
Zack Fields: The former were victorious as Hailey Harris pinned Caitlin Shay.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Each girl offers something different. Hailey gets a little payback on Caitlin by pinning her, as I'm sure we all remember Caitlin beat Hailey for the Women's Title. On the subject of the Women's Championship, it seemed a lot of people were surprised Olya won the title, because she was a "manager turned wrestler." Those people seem to forget that Olya wrestled prior to managing Bobo Sweetcakes. She was on a winning streak, which is why she managed Bobo, to get him back on track after losing the Adrenaline Title to David Slayton.
John Hendon: In a Non-Title Match, Acer Stone squared off against AXW Light Heavyweight Champion Danny Hall.
Zack Fields: Acer Stone came up with the win, solidifying a match against Danny for the title at Winterslam.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And the two will make history at Winterslam as they compete in AXW's first ever Tables, Ladders, and Chairs Match. This could be the break Acer needs to get his career soaring in AXW.
John Hendon: A battle of the mammoths, Bruiser Lazzou and Deimos competed in a brutal Anything Goes Match.
Zack Fields: It was Deimos who picked up the win over Lazzou.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And you have to wonder, what's next for these two beasts? How are they gonna top themselves? Only time will tell and I'm looking forward to the answer.
John Hendon: Austin Graves and Ryan Starr, now collectively known as War Horse, clashed with Hand of Blood to determine the Number One Contenders for the AXW Tag Team Championships.
Zack Fields: The newly dubbed War Horse got the win and will face to be determined members of the Takeover at Winterslam.
Zoey pulls in the AXW Tag Team Championship and holds it up.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: War Horse, huh? The War Horse won't make it out of the battle. The Takeover has not finished. Any team could step up to the plate and they will all foul out. The Takeover has just begun and it will not end any time soon.
John Hendon: And in the Main Event, it was non-title as Steve Corman faced AXW Champion David Slayton in the third ever AXW Cage Match.
Zack Fields: Steve Corman wins, which means he'll get an AXW Championship Match at Winterslam.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: And that match could very well blow the roof off. Hopefully no one gets frostbite.
John Hendon: And with last week's matches recapped, we move on to tonight's matches.
Zack Fields: In tonight's Main Event, Crash Jackson seeks revenge as he takes on Duncan Aries.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: It was in this arena over 4 months ago when Duncan Aries broke Crash's ankle and forced him to relinquish the AXW Championship. I would not want to be Duncan Aries tonight.
John Hendon: Austin Graves faces AXW Tag Team Champion Malcolm M. Mitchell.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Austin Graves is one of the best in this world, but he's just not good enough to take down Malcolm.
Zack Fields: We will see the AXW Xperience Championship defended tonight as reigning champion Starla Gardevoir takes on Clifford Bradley.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: We've seen very little of Clifford Bradley in AXW, which means it's hard to scout him. Meanwhile, Clifford could hop onto the BWF Network and watch hours upon hours of Starla Gardevoir or Katie James footage and do all the scouting he wants. Clifford Bradley is a credible threat to Starla.
John Hendon: The undefeated Chaz Anix takes on a man who has only suffered one loss, Jack Adams.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Both men are impressive, but I'm honestly not really a fan of either of them. What kind of nickname is "Dr. Big Freakin' Deal?" And for Jack Adams, well, it's no secret he's a giant douche. I'm sure it'll be a great match, but I'm not invested in either guy at this time.
Zack Fields: And last but not least, Ethan Cutler versus Nicholas Veidt.
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: If you were to tell me that this match would be the Main Event, I wouldn't even question it. That's how good these guys are. It's not the Main Event tonight, but these guys have all the tools to be main eventers. Don't sleep on either guy.
John Hendon: Now it's time for some prediction. Would you like to start, Zoey?
Zoey Mathews-Mitchell: Crash Jackson steps into his hometown tonight and tears through Duncan Aries, possibly doing more damage to Duncan than Duncan did to him. Malcolm M. Mitchell defeats Austin Graves.
Starla Gardevoir retains the Xperience Championship over a game Clifford Bradley. I think Jack Adams will get the win over Chaz Anix. And I'm thinking Nicholas Veidt picks up the win over Ethan Cutler. I love me some suplexes, I have a bunch that I use in my arsenal.
John Hendon: I'm gonna agree with Crash defeating Duncan. I'm gonna say Austin defeats Malcolm. Starla retains over Bradley. Chaz defeats Adams, and Cutler defeats Veidt.
Zack Fields: I'm saying Duncan's gonna beat Crash. Malcolm will beat Austin. Clifford Bradley wins the Xperience Championship. Jack Adams defeats Chaz Anix. Nicholas Veidt beats Ethan Cutler.
John Hendon: That's all we have for you this week, make sure to turn into AXW in less than a minute on ION!
